What Breaks your Heart?

Images of starving children in 
Not- so-far off Africa or India ? 
Corporate slaves toiling in a 
9-5 humdrum ? 

Terrorist attacks, suicide bombs 
Car bombs 
Random shooting by not-so-random guns? 

Women being attacked for no other reason than they're women? 
Is it a lack of control or a lack of education? 

But what education? Purely academic suppressing emotion and ethics? 
Priding physical prowess with no thought of the Divine within? 

Golden cages masquerading as Comfort zones 
Couches and sofas 
Surfing channels and the aimless searching 
Mental, emotional and spiritual poverty 
Or just apathy 

Empty eyes 
Devoid of laughter 
Dying a living death of boredom 
Suffering in man-made pain 
Or diseases of unbroken habits 

Battles with monsters in the mind 
The sporadic emergence of Jekyll and Hyde 
The mad dash to be First at the 
Top of the Ladder 
Only to find the Soul left behind 

Robots marching to an external beat
Instead of pulsating to 
The steady beat of the Heart 
That never stops 

So what breaks your heart? 
And what would mend it again?
